Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Revolutionary Soldiers of Delaware: A Paper Read by William G. Whiteley, Esq., Before the Two Houses of the Delaware Legislature, February 15th, 1875 I feel confident that you will not consider it pedantic if I begin this paper with an extract from Sallust: - who says, in his history of the Jugurthine war: "Sæpe audivi, O. Maximum, P. Scipio, prætorea civitatis nostræ præclaros viros, solitos ita dicere, cum majorum imagines intuerentur, vehementissime sibi animum ad virtutem accendi. Scilicet non ceram illam, neque figuram tantam vim in sese habere; sed memoria rerum gestarumeam flammam egregiis viris in pectore crescere, neque prius sedari, quam virtus eiryn fanan atque gloriam adæquaverit. "Often have I heard that Ouintus Maximus, Publius Scipio, and other renowned men of our commonwealth, used to say, that whenever they beheld the images of their ancestors, they fell their minds greatly excited to virtue. It could not be the wax or the marble which possessed this power, but the recollection of their great actions kindled a generous flame in their breasts, not to be quelled, till they also by valor had acquired equal fame and glory."
